Genuinely such a nice, beautiful bag. I am obsessed with the single strap handle and I love how intuitively designed it is. The leather just looks, feels, and smells expensive. 10/10 recommend as a beautiful staple for work/travel/etc
What a beautiful bag! The color is rich, the quality looks good. Will give full marks on utility. The laptop sleeve is padded and the bag is big to hold lots of stuff. It comes with a strap which is very practical. Can't wait to start using it for work and travel.
Omg it came in (yesterday) but got delivered today because of late mailing but ITS OK! Because I have it AHHH it’s super cute, it’s giving major girl boss vibes and I’m here for it. It was bigger than I expected but it fits. Might not use it for work since I don’t wanna break it in too quickly but will be using for date nights(or any time I go out but work lol). I formally introduced myself to my JEMMA as johana haha loving the “JJ” <<<333!!.
I have no notes for this bag. Spacious, extraordinarily well-designed, classic, sensible. Having just turned thirty, this gift to myself is the perfect inspiration for the direction I want to go in this new chapter of my life. Love this bag so much!
I am an engineer who travels frequently for work. I have always carried a backpack plus purse to work and stuffed the purse inside the backpack for travel. I recently decided I wanted to up my style game and purchased the EMMA Traveler 39. I was hoping it would allow me to consolidate to one bag for both work and travel. I have owned the bag for about two weeks now and just took my first work trip. I rarely write reviews, but wanted to take the time to answer some of the questions I had before purchasing.
I purchased the bag in black vanilla and love the way it looks. So elegant and classic. So far I have been using it without the shoulder strap and carrying it with the handle around my shoulder. This does mean you need two hands free to put the bag on; one to slide the bag over your other arm. The outer back pocket is great to slip in my phone and work badge. The construction of the bag and the materials are all high quality. The carrying handle rotates all the way forward and back but has enough friction that it will also stay up on its own.
My 15” laptop fits either in the protective interior sleeve or in one of the main compartments. Every day to work I carry the laptop, laptop charging cable/power brick, an assortment of other cables, wireless mouse, wallet, sunglasses, keys, badges, pens, airpods, lotion, small hairbrush, mints/gum, folding reusable shopping bag, feminine products, and I’m sure I’m leaving out a few things. There are enough interior pockets to keep everything organized though I do use a few of my own smaller pouches. I don’t have a need to carry a purse to work in addition to this bag, which is great. I can even fit a travel mug. (Empty because I’m not chancing a spill.) I have found it easiest when putting in larger items like a travel mug to undo the magnetic straps to allow the bag to fully open, add the item, then close the straps and close the bag. You need to be able to attach the magnetic straps at the top to be able to close the bag flap and you can’t carry the bag using the handle unless the clasp is all the way closed.
I was concerned if I would be able to carry all of my travel items because I need room for a 0.5L water bottle and over-the-ear headphones. I’m very happy to report that it works! I did need to switch my headphones in a soft bag rather than the hard-sided case. The other change I made was to replace the small clutch that comes with the bag for a slightly larger purse. The included clutch has no width; it is very thin so you can’t really fit a wallet/phone/sunglasses which for me does not make it practical as a bag I can detach and use as a purse. For travel I need to be able to do this and I found that a different clutch I already owned clips into the EMMA. The only difference is my clutch has about 0.25” of width so I can fit my essentials.
I also love that you can unzip the outer pocket and slide the bag over your luggage handle. For me, the open zipper on the bottom of the pocket caught the telescoping luggage handle the first few times and I had to shimmy the EMMA to get it to slide fully down. However, after a few tries the EMMA outer pocket relaxed a little and I can now take the EMMA on and off my luggage one handed. This does mean the bag pocket, which previously had been snug to the back of the bag now has a slight gap. When flying, I had turned the EMMA on its side to fit under the seat.
A very nice quality bag off the bat. I was a small bag girly and everything else I had to bring to work was thrown into a tote bag, so this is a huge upgrade for me. The box it came in was put through the wringer but the purse inside was in perfect condition. My 13” laptop sits snug in there and pretty much all of my essentials for my job fit in there as well. It’s a big bag so I wouldn’t recommend it for small trips to the store, but it works perfect for hauling my stuff to work. Overall, I would recommend if you have a medium amount of junk to lug with you day to day.
Love all the extra details and quality of leather. Lot of compliments
I probably came back over 100x's to look at this bag. I finally took the leap and bought it. I absolutely love it. First of all it's so classy, sophisticated looking and structured, which I love. I have bought so many that I just didn't like after 1st use and I will be donating. I have found my forever traveler!
Super stylish! I love the look and feel. It carries nice by strap or handle. I only wish it was an inch or two taller so my portfolio binder would fit inside with my laptop.
I absolutely love my Jemma Poppins bag. It has all the space I need and is multi use. I go to meetings and it fits all my looks.
Perfect wallet/clutch for travel! Fits inside the Emma nicely and works perfectly for a night on the go.
I absolutely love this bag. Not only is it beautiful but very functional. I can fit all the things that I need and more. The perfect piece to complete a look. I’m so glad I was able to find it 💕
I love it! I thought it was going to be smaller other wise it is so beautiful. I would like a smaller version for sure.
The bag is big enough to fit all my school supplies such as a tablet, laptop, notebook, water bottle. It also is very minimalistic and doesn't draw much attention. The metal feet help to maintain the bag off the floor or a table in case of a spill.
I purchased the EMMA Traveller 39 for university. I am loving it! It is very spacious and I never have to worry about fitting all my books and necessities. I am already getting so many compliments on how stylish it is and it’s only the first week of classes!
This bag is great for corporate life, carrying papers, notebooks, small laptop or a tablet. But it is also great for moms!! When I'm working remote I'm able to clean out the work stuff and load it with diapers, wipes, antibacterial hand wipes, my own wallet, and a couple snacks. And I don't have to carry around an ugly diaper bag! Feels so luxurious! I absolutely recommend the bag to both corporate girlies and moms alike!
I love the interior design of this tote. It's white with a sophisticated stripe. This makes finding anything so easy. Very nice tote.
Bag is lovely, can’t wait to use it. Customer service was excellent. There were minor scratches on the lock and I am happy with the customer service solution regarding that. Love the black/white combo leather.
This bag is the perfect size for road trips or a personal item for flying.
Perfect! The bag can be heavy packed fully but it is easy to carry with the crossbody strap! What makes the bag great?: the trolly pocket, the bottom storage for shoes, the wide opening, the inside pockets, the makeup bag, and the light interior.
I’ve had this bag (in black) for exactly one year now. I have traveled 22 weeks for business (88 flights) and 8 personal travel flights. This bag is not only my personal item on the plane, but also my work bag when I land and I have never been more happy with a bag purchase.
It holds EVERYTHING, full size laptop, iPad, headphones, neck pillow, water bottle etc and the list goes on all while looking put together and classic. The trolly pass through, the expandable opening, the flap closure is all so well thought through. I continue to get compliments on this bag trip after trip.
The leather has held up, the strap feels brand new, the interior is flawless. The ONLY thing showing any wear is the twist closure. I want this bag in more colors so I never have to be without it!
I took a long time to evaluate which bag was going to make my life as a traveling business woman easiest and I can 100% confirm I made the best choice. This bag started my love affair with Jemma and I am so glad I found it. Thank you for making such well constructed handbags!
